This chapter discusses the principles of video compression. The statistical analysis of video signals indicates that there is a strong correlation both between successive picture frames and within the picture elements themselves. Theoretically, decorrelation of these signals can lead to bandwidth compression with out significantly affecting image resolution. Moreover, the insensitivity of the human visual system to loss of certain spatio-temporal visual information can be exploited for further reduction. Hence, subjectively lossy compression techniques can be used to reduce video bit rates while maintaining an acceptable image quality.
